Cardiac Telemetry Unit patient ratio is typically 5:1 at times of critical staffing the ratio may be 6:1. The patient population is a 30 bed Cardiac Telemetry/Med Surg population. Many of our patients have Chronic Heart Failure as well as multiple comorbidities. Acuity can be very high at times, however we strive to ensure that the higher acuity patients are split evenly amongst the staff. If not cardiac but med/surge we will off route those patients to other units.  This is a 30 bed; fast paced unit driven to excel and provide remarkable care by engaging in teamwork. This unit is the foundation for growth opportunities. Mastery of this unit ensures guaranteed success anywhere!
